Sexual bias in anhydrobiosis genes and identification of PmDsup ortholog. A Comparison of gene expression profiles between the sexes during anhydrobiosis. Log2 (Tun + 0.1) / (Active + 0.1) were plotted for the x-axis and for the y-axis log2 (Male + 0.1) / (Female + 0.1). Red dots indicate transcripts detected as differentially expressed in both comparisons. Sex-biased, but not anhydrobiosis induced, anhydrobiosis related genes have been noted by colored annotations: Blue: CAHS, Green: SAHS, Red: AMNP, and Black: Dsup. B Synteny analysis to identify orthologous genomic loci in H. exemplaris and P. metropolitanus. HeDsup and PmDsup have been annotated in the plot. C DISOPRED and IUPRED3 scores (D) Protein structure predicted by ColabFold. The N-terminus to the C-terminus shows gradient colors from blue to red. E Expression of PmDsup in both sexes
